Im serializeing an object that contains DateTimeImmutable fields (creadted_ad, updated_at).
When using a serialization object as dependecnyc injection it’s all good.
But then i’m writing an unit tests and my first problem is that serializer doesn’t see the @Groups (after serialization there are fields taht are restricted by @Group annotation,btw. its working well with symfony service serializer), another problem is with a DateTimeImmutable fields, it is using ObjectNormalizer instead of DateTimeNormalizer.
Beacuse i can’t get service from container in unit tests (not allowed anymore, Symfony 5.2) i am createing an instance of serializer in unit test, and clearly there are some differences with the one i created and the "symofny" build in serializer.
So what i do in unit test (basic serializer) is:
$dbSignups = .... entities from database
$normalizers = [
new ObjectNormalizer(),
new DateTimeNormalizer()
];
$encoders = [
new JsonEncoder()
];
$this->serializer = new Serializer($normalizers, $encoders);
$jsonData = $this->serializer->serialize($dbSignups, 'json', [
'groups' => ['api_readds']
]
);
After "symfony" serialization my data looks like:
[
{
"id":1,
"firstName":"Fist Name Signup 0",
"lastName":"Last Name 0",
"email":"[email protected]",
"phone":"12312125430",
"zip":"3210",
"streetname":"Street 0",
"buildingnumber":"0",
"door":"0",
"floor":"3",
"campaign":"campaign_0",
"comment":"comment 0",
"updatedAt":"2020-12-14T06:51:51.000Z",
"createdAt":"2020-12-14T06:51:51.000Z",
"notMappedFields":[
],
"dataProvider":"API Importer"
}
]
And using a serializer in unit test, after passing exactly the same data:
[
{
"id":1,
"firstName":"Fist Name Signup 0",
"notMappedFields":[
],
"updatedAt":{
"timezone":{
"name":"UTC",
"transitions":[
{

So as one can see the DateTime fields are not serialized properly and also there are some additional fields that shouldn`t be there because of @Groups definition.
My conclusion is that im missing something in my Unit Test Serilizer but after sitting on for a while I cant fid what it is.
Also , i know that i sould mock the serializer and return data i want but well, i just want to do it wit serializer and actually right now im really keen to know where is the problem, so let`s ust figure aout how to do it this way.
Cheers
